Plant squash seed outdoors after all danger of frost is past and ground is warm. Or you may start squash seed indoors 4 to 6 weeks earlier. Make a group of 4 to 5 seeds placed a ring about 2 inches across; cover squash seed with 1/2 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a hill and hills should be spaced 4 feet apart each way.
When squash plants are 3 to 5 inches tall, thin leaving the 3 or 4 strongest plants in each hill.
